Handbook of Process Integration (PI), 1st EditionJiri Klemes

Since its first development in the 1970s, Process Integration (PI) has become an important methodology in
achieving more energy efficient processes. This pioneering handbook brings together the leading scientists
and researchers currently contributing to PI development, pooling their expertise and specialist knowledge
to provide readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the latest PI research and applications.
After an introduction to the principles of PI, the book reviews a wide range of process design and integration
topics ranging from heat and utility systems to water, recycling, waste and hydrogen systems. The book considers
Heat Integration, Mass Integration and Extended PI as well as a series of applications and case studies. Chapters
address not just operating and capital costs but also equipment design and operability issues, through to buildings
and supply chains.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Handbook of Process Integration (PI)
is a standard reference work for managers and researchers in all energy-intensive industries, as well as academics
with an interest in them, including those designing and managing oil refineries, petrochemical and power plants,
as well as paper/pulp, steel, waste, food and drink processors.

"The authors have provided all the elements required for complete understanding of the basic concepts in heat
recovery and water minimization in chemical and related processes, and followed these with carefully selected
and developed problems and solutions in order to ensure that the concepts delivered can be applied." Simon Perry, The University of Manchester.
This graduate textbook covers fundamentals of the key areas of Process Integration and Intensification for intra-process
heat recovery (Heat Integration), inter-process heat recovery and cogeneration (Total Site) as well as water conservation.
Step by step working sessions are illustrated for deeper understanding of the taught materials.
The textbook also provides a wealth of pointers as well as further information for readers to acquire more
extensive materials on the diverse industrial applications and the latest development trends in Process
Integration and Intensification. It is addressed to graduate students as well as professionals to help
the effectively application of Process Integration and Intensification in plant design and operation.

Renewable Energy Systems, 2e A Smart Energy Systems Approach to the Choice and Modeling of 100% Renewable SolutionsProf. Dr.Techn. Henrik Lund, Aalborg University, Department of Development and Planning and Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier International Journal ENERGY

In this new edition of Renewable Energy Systems, globally recognized renewable energy researcher and professor, Henrik Lund, sets forth a straightforward,
comprehensive methodology for comparing different energy systems’ abilities to integrate fluctuating and intermittent renewable energy sources. The book does
this by presenting an energy system analysis methodology and offering a freely available accompanying software tool, EnergyPLAN, which automates and simplifies
the calculations supporting such a detailed comparative analysis. The book provides the results of more than fifteen comprehensive energy system analysis studies,
examines the large-scale integration of renewable energy into the present system, and presents concrete design examples derived from a dozen renewable energy systems
around the globe. Renewable Energy Systems, Second Edition also undertakes the socio-political realities governing the implementation of renewable energy systems by
introducing a theoretical framework approach aimed at understanding how major technological changes, such as renewable energy, can be implemented at both the national
and international levels.Download flyer here
